“Jealousy is like a hangover: When you are in the midst of it you want to die, you are poisoned, useless. Nothing stretches before you but an expanse of ashes and regret; yet despite the intensity of your suffering, no one feels sorry for you, no one cosigns your fury. No sympathy for you! Look how wantonly you indulged! Of course it hurts, but your suffering is nothing unique, everyone has suffered like that, so get ahold of yourself, show some backbone and discretion, for god’s sake. Don’t go making any major decisions. Jealousy and hangovers, as common wisdom goes, are temporary.”
― Torrey Peters, Detransition, Baby

“Me pasé la vida aprendiendo a sentir menos.
Cada día sentía menos.
¿Eso es madurar? ¿O es algo peor?
Uno no puede protegerse de la tristeza sin protegerse al mismo tiempo de la felicidad».”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

“The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Illuminated Rumi

“The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.”
― Leo Tolstoy, A Confession
